Two associate superintendents of Prince William County Public Schools will retire at the end of this school year. In separate meetings with their principals on Feb. 15, Diana Lambert-Aikens, associate superintendent for eastern elementary schools and Alison Nourse-Miller, associate superintendent for western elementary schools, announced that they will retire on June 30.
Both have served in Prince William for 33 years.
Diana Lambert-Aikens joined PWCS in 1978 as a learning disabilities teacher at Kilby Elementary School. In 1991, she became a learning disabilities resource teacher and administrative assistant at Kilby. She served as an assistant principal at Occoquan Elementary School in 1994 and in 1995 became assistant principal at Potomac View Elementary School, where she served for two years. From 1997 to 2006, she was principal of West Gate Elementary in Manassas.
While at West Gate, she was selected as Prince William County Principal of the Year and won The Washington Post Distinguished Educational Leadership Award. Lambert-Aikens was appointed an associate superintendent in June 2006.
Alison Nourse-Miller began her career in PWCS in 1978 as a learning disabilities specialist at Bennett Elementary School. Her first administrative appointment was as assistant principal of Woodbine Preschool in 1981; she also served concurrently as assistant principal of an alternative program, “Different Strokes.” While at Woodbine, Nourse-Miller began the School Division’s PACE special education program.
She was appointed as principal of Woodbine in 1983 and served until 1985 when she became principal of Featherstone Elementary School. She was selected as Old Bridge Elementary School’s first principal when the school opened in 1995. Nourse-Miller received The Washington Post Distinguished Educational Leadership Award and was Prince William County Principal of the Year in 1998. She was appointed to her current position in July 2000.
“We are losing two outstanding leaders,” said Superintendent of School Steven L. Walts. “They are both visionaries and advocates for students and staff. It has been an honor for me to have worked with them, and we are indebted to them for their service.”
Associate superintendents for schools are key members of the Superintendent’s staff, providing a voice for instructional leadership and always putting what is best for children first. Lambert-Aikens oversees 19 elementary schools and Nourse-Miller is responsible for 20 elementary schools, including the new “Linton Hall Road” Elementary School that will open this fall. They provide leadership to school principals and assistant principals, supervise school administrators assigned to them, ensure achievement of Virginia Standards of Learning, allocate staff to their schools, monitor class size ratios, communicate policies, practices, and procedures to school staffs, and assist in planning and coordinating staff development for administrative staff.
